As much as foreigners keep getting hyped, they can't perform against even mediocre GSL players, with the exception of Jinro. Guys like Ace and Moon, often criticized as terrible by foreigners, just steam rolled through IEM despite tons of the best foreigners being there. GSL is where it's at. +1 This is what I love about recent comments regarding GSL games. People fail to understand that the way they playing and pushing each other, there is not much space for "ohh he should've done this or that". I think general "top" not pro players are already hills behind whoever is playing in Korea, and that lead will only increase unless they train with them daily like foreigners in Korea do. | ||

GSL has the best players, and it's on at a good time for me. The NASL is gonna be at like 4am KST, so I won't be able to watch it. I will follow it, but only to check the results...I don't see myself actually watching many of the games, at least not in the group stages. | ||

1) Amount of content. They literally put on the biggest, best SC2 tournament every month. It's on six days a week and there are so many games to watch. 2) Professional presentation. Live games with the players right there so we can see their reactions, taunts, etc. Obviously the overall quality of the music, transitions, pregame buildup, etc. is quite high. 3) Tastetosis. What can I say about this duo that hasn't been said before? There simply could not be another combination of casters that top these two. 4) The storylines. We've had quite a bit of time to see storylines emerge which adds so much drama to the game. Just to name a few: SanZenith's rise to Code S standards, Jinro 2-0'ing MC after MC 4-0'd him the previous season, JulyZerg's struggle to find his niche, etc. This combined with the normal drama of "can this guy beat (Nestea/MVP/etc)?" makes for such exciting matches. 5) These guys still *are* the best players in the world. The Western scene is robust and growing, but Korean pros still dominate in terms of sheer skill. 6) Easy access. It can get difficult to track all the little, short tournaments going on in the West. The GSL makes accessing their content easy and being broadcast at the same time six nights a week makes it that much easier. 7) Code A is bursting with potential. I'm really interested in the up-and-coming Code A players. So many storylines can be created this way and I'm really excited to see it happen. Basically, the GSL just offers such a large quantity of quality content that no one can come close to matching just yet. We'll see how the NASL pans out, though, as that's the only thing on the horizon that I can see even coming close to touching a big production like the GSL. | ||

Most the time i end up watching vods. Unless it's going to be an Epic day. I don't mean any disrespect by the backwards comment, im just envious of your time zone relative to GSL. | ||

I'm not an expert -- just a fan -- so I have to base that off our tournament results. It will be interesting to see how the Koreans perform in the TSL. If they continue to dominate, I'll probably still subscribe to the GSL. But I'm definitely excited about the NASL, just because of my familiarity of the players. The only knock against the GSL is that it's harder to learn more about the players themselves. | ||

It's mostly the dwindling amount of Tasteless/Artosis. Kelly's accent is really quite horrible. She pronounces everything incredibly stupidly. That other guy (whose name I don't even know) is alright but it sounds like everything is forced, like he just says things because other casters do. (ノ`٥´)ノ what is this shit? (ノ`٥´)ノ | ||

If they do however allow any and all Koreans to participate, I'll stop watching GSL entirely. | ||

I hope there won't be a direct competition between the fans so that both leagues can grow. | ||
